The calendar as above set forth serves as a perpetual calendar; it is aconvenient accessory to a fountain pen in that it is always possible toquickly learn the day of the Week or month as the calendar is apermanent part of the pen; it does not serve to make the pen or pencilany more bulky than would ordinarily be the case, and it is instantlyaccessible and conveniently operable for the purpose set forth.

lVhat I claim is:

1. A unit comprising a cylindrical cap apertured in its end Wall, a diskin the cap engaging the end Wall and having a portion visible throughthe end Wall, and a pair of ring-shaped superposed disks surrounding thefirst disk. the outer one of the pair engaging the end Wall 01 the capand having angularly-spacen apertures, portions of the enter one of thepair being visible through the end Wall o'l the cap and portions of theinner one being visible through the end "all of the cap and through saidapertures the superposed disks being substantially equal in thickness tothe first disk.

2. In an article of the class described, a cylindrical cap apertured inits end Wall, a

Within the cap engaging said end Wall and visible therethrough aring-shaped disk surrounding the first disk and also engaging the endwall and visible therethrough, a pair of superimposed ring-shaped diskssurrounding the second disk and engaging the end Wall and also visibletherethrough, the outer one of said superimposed ring-shaped disksprovided with a plurality of angularly arranged apertures through whichthe inner one of said superimposed disks is visible.

3. In an article of the class described, a cylindrical cap having anaperturcd end wall and a plurality of concentrically arranged disksdisposed vvithin said cap in substantially the same plane and adjacentthe apertured end Wall of the cap to be viewed therethrough, a plateholding said disks against the end Wall of said cap one of said diskscomprising two superimposed sections of which the one adjacent to theend wall is provided with a plurality of angularly arranged aperturesthrough which the second one is visible.
